According to w3.education.ibm.com (internal IBM site, there is some
external equivalent but I don't know what it is) Transarc - now "IBM
Pittsburgh Lab" - still runs the "AFS Administration" course. It's course
code SW800 and will next occur in Pittsburgh, PA 2002-12-10 to 2002-12-13.
Below are the full details, which include a contact number/email to get
more info and future course dates. I have taken this class and can vouch
that it is excellent. My class was taught by someone who had been
administering AFS since it was a research project at CMU, so in addition to
access to deep technical knowledge there were also interesting historical
asides.
